 Dear friends, I would like to sincerely thank you for all of your support throughout 2012. As I spend this lovely day with my family I am thankful for all of the beautiful things that make me smile everyday. I wish you a very Merry Christmas, and hope your day is filled with joy and laughter… oh, and oodles of deliciously festive treats!
These lovely Christmas ornaments are handmade by the folks at Smiling Tree Toys from sustainably harvested hardwoods and finished with a homegrown organic oil blend. They’re available in a range of designs and can be personalised with text of your choice. My favourite is Mr Sock Monkey!
Smiling Tree Toys offer worldwide shipping.
This morning I received some gorgeous photos from Queensland reader, Kate. Her daughter Anouk (5) hosted her very own Lemonade Stand on Christmas Day for her neighbours and lunch guests as they arrived. Mummy Kate says, “The first thing Anouk said when she came in at 4.30am on Christmas morning was “I’m so excited, I’m going to have my first lemonade stand!” Awww!
Anouk’s fabulous chef’s hat and apron were handmade for her birthday by the brother of a family friend using vintage fabric. Her jug, table cloth and umbrella are also vintage. Just. Plain. Gorgeous!
Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Joyeux Noël, Buon Natale, Melkam Genna, Meri Kirihimete… This is our second Christmas on {KID} independent and in keeping with tradition I’ve assembled a big batch of Christmas photos from our extended {KID} independent family. Wishing you loads of laughter and oodles of joy on this fabulous Christmas day!
